Product - Smart Robots

Smart Robots, thanks to its cutting edge perception and intelligence technologies, assists and supports human operators in factories.

The product combines perception and reasoning capabilities, in a single object of moderate size and weight that can be placed on a stand or on a wall. The product provides real-time mapping of the workspace, recognition of people’s movements, actions and gestures.

These capabilities are applied to certify and guide humans operations, in order to improve process quality and reduce human errors. When connected to a cobot, Smart Robots product enables real human-cobot interaction, by adapting and synchronizing the programs of the cobot to human actions.

Smart Robots enhances the human operator to reduce errors, double its productivity, improving also work-station quality and ergonomics.

PERCEPTION

Perception is the result of three skills: tracking and recognition
of human movements, a capacity to read human gestures
and objects recognition.

Human Tracking

Monitoring the operator's movements and predicting the occupied space.
Operator motion and its hands are tracked in real-time.
Human actions are available information to activate specific robot tasks.

Human Gestures and Commands

The robot can be controlled without the need of a physical interface;
the operator can directly interact with the robot
to change robot tasks

Object Recognition

Recognition and classification of known objects based on matching with a 3D
model. Inspection of objects to detect process errors. This features
can be customized for specific applications.

INTELLIGENCE

The cognitive capabilities of the system provide new paradigms
of support to human operator, in purely manual activities,
or in hybrid human-robot collaborative stations.

Sequence Checking

Operator motions and actions are tracked in 3D and compared
with the correct sequence providing him guidance
in real-time and feedback in case of errors

Smart Scheduling

When used in connection with a robot, the system adapts robot actions
in real-time to human positions, actions and pieces availability
in order to efficiently integrate human and robots activities.

Collision Avoidance

When used in connection with a robot, the system detects 3D human
(body, arms, hands) and human-robot distance in real-time,
and it slows down the robot before the collision occurs.
